STENCILING  AND 
STENCIL  MATERIALS 


INTRODUCTION. 

HE  principal  reason  for  the  recent  popu¬ 
larity  of  stencil  work  in  the  home  is  the 
pleasure  that  can  be  derived  from  doing 
it.  The  work  is  interesting,  attractive 
and  useful,  for  there  are  no  end  of  things 
in  and  around  the  house  which  can  be 
decorated  by  the  use  of  stencils.  The 
methods  of  stenciling  are  simple,  and 
good  effects  can  be  obtained  by  those  who 
have  had  no  previous  experience.  Those 
who  have  an  aptitude  of  eye  and  hand  for 
work  of  this  nature  will,  of  course,  be 
able  to  secure  better  results,  but  the  work 
is  so  simple  and  interesting  and  the  re¬ 
sults  so  pleasing  and  artistic  that  it  is 
seldom  that  any  one  is  disappointed. 

This  book  is  intended  as  a  complete 
guide  for  ordering  the  stencils,  stencil 
colors,  brushes,  etc.,  and  for  doing  the  work,  but  if  any¬ 
thing  is  not  perfectly  clear,  write  us  and  we  will  be  glad 
to  explain. 

The  stencils  made  herein  are  all  made  from  original 
designs,  and  can  not  be  procured  elsewhere  than  from  us 
or  from  the  Sherwin-Williams  agent  in  your  town. 

The  subject  is  treated  under  two  heads  in  this  book, 
“Wall  and  Ceiling  Decoration”  and  “Fabric  Decoration,” 
which  are  both  of  equal  interest.  In  the  case  of  wall  and 
ceiling  decoration  it  may  be  necessary  to  employ  a  painter, 
but  in  the  case  of  fabrics  you  do  the  work  yourself  and  will 
find  it  of  absorbing  interest.

FABRIC  DECORATION. 

TEN  well  done,  stenciling  is  one  of  the 
most  effective  and  beautiful  methods  of 
ornamenting  fabrics.  By  means  of  our 
carefully  designed  stencils  and  especially 
prepared  colors  we  have  placed  this  in¬ 
teresting  occupation  within  the  reach  of 
all.  In  addition  to  the  wall  decoration 
it  is  now  possible  for  the  worker  to  pro¬ 
duce  the  most  attractive  effects  in  curtains, 
portieres,  table  covers,  pillows,  etc.,  which 
harmonize  with  the  wall  and  form  a  most 
pleasing  ensemble.  With  our  materials 
at  hand  and  after  a  careful  perusal  of  the 
following  directions  such  results  can  be 
obtained  with  ease. 

Whether  for  a  curtain  portiere  or 
pillow  cover,  the  operation  is  practically 
the  same.  The  fabric  is  first  stretched 
very  smoothly  over  white  blotting  paper  or  pieces  of  news¬ 
paper,  and  fastened  firmly  to  a  drawing-board  or  table  top 
with  thumb  tacks  or  large  pins.  The  stencil  should  be 


Fastening  the  Stencil, 
2 


fastened  firmly  in  like  manner.  The  paper  underneath 
absorbs  all  extra  color  and  prevents  its  creeping  under  the 
stencil.  After  selecting  an  appropriate  design  it  is  neces¬ 
sary  to  make  careful  measurement  in  order  that  the  repeat 
of  the  stencil  will  meet  properly  at  the  corners  or  fit  the 
piece  to  good  advantage.  The  proper  guides  for  repeat 
patterns  are  always  cut  on  our  stencils.  A  soft  pencil  line 
or  basting  thread  will  serve  as  a  guide  line  on  border 
patterns.  S-W  Stencil  Colors  are  prepared  ready  for  use; 
they  are  of  the  exact  consistency  for  stenciling,  and  only 
require  the  addition  of  one-tenth  part  S-W  Stencil  Medium 
in  order  that  the  completed  work  may  be  “fast”  and  with¬ 
stand  soap  and  water  washing.  S-W  Stencil  White  can 
be  added  in  reducing  any  of  the  colors  or  combination  of 
colors,  thus  making  possible  an  unlimited  number  of 
effects. 

A  smaller  stencil  brush  (about  one  inch  wide)  is  used 
for  fabric  decoration  than  for  that  of  the  wall.  If  your 
dealer  can  not  supply  the  proper  size,  order  from  us  direct. 
(See  page  6.)  Dip  the  stencil  brush  into  the  colors,  which 
have  first  been  thoroughly  mixed  with  the  Medium  by 
means  of  a  spatula  or  small  knife,  get  the  brush  thoroughly 


Mixing  the  Colors.

filled  and  scrape  off  all  superfluous  color,  then  proceed  to 
stencil.  Better  results  are  obtained  by  tapping  or  pounc¬ 
ing  than  by  brushing  on  the  color,  and  it  is  usually  best 
to  try  out  the  stencil  and  the  color  on  a  waste  piece  of  the 
fabric  in  order  to  ascertain  the  exact  consistency  of  the 
color  before  proceeding  with  the  actual  work.  Watch  the 
work  carefully  and  clean  the  back  of  the  stencil  occa¬ 
sionally  so  that  the  color  may  not  run  under  it.  Sometimes 
a  reverse  pattern  is  desired,  and  in  such  a  case  it  is  abso¬ 
lutely  necessary  to  have  the  stencil  clean  on  both  sides. 
On  all  designs  where  two  colors  are  required  we  provide 
two  stencils.  Either  separate  brushes  should  be  used  or 
the  one  brush  cleaned  very  carefully.  Turpentine  or  ben¬ 
zine  should  be  used  for  cleaning  both  stencils  and  brushes. 
Our  stencil  colors  can  be  thinned  with  turpentine  if  de¬ 
sired. 

At  first  an  equal  application  of  color  may  be  easiest, 
but  later  if  you  desire  to  shade,  simply  bear  on  a  given 
portion  which  you  want  darker  a  little  longer  and  a  little 
harder  than  on  the  part  which  you  wish  to  shade  off.  If 
there  are  a  number  of  small  parts  to  the  design  in  close 
conjunction  it  is  often  of  advantage  to  use  a  small  brush 


Applying  the  Stencil  Colors.

for  these  parts,  thus  avoiding  running  over  the  edges  into 
other  parts  of  the  design.  Use  a  separate  brush  for  each 
color. 

The  ties  or  connecting  parts  of  a  stencil  are  very  im¬ 
portant  and  on  some  designs  are  rather  fine  and,  therefore, 
require  careful  handling.  Our  stencils  will  be  found  ex¬ 
tremely  practical  and  are  ready  for  immediate  use.  They 
are  very  durable  and  with  ordinary  handling  will  last  for 
a  long  time.  Should  the  ties  break  they  can  be  repaired 
by  pasting  small  pieces  of  the  same  paper  over  the  broken 
parts  with  glue  or  shellac.  For  applique  work,  place  the 
stencil  on  the  ground  material  and  trace  with  soft  pencil 
or  tailor’s  chalk.  Then  place  the  stencil  on  the  fabric  to 
be  appliqued  and  after  tracing  in  similar  manner,  cut  out 
design  forms,  allowing  ©ne-eighth  inch  for  turning  in, 
unless  a  fancy  stitch  is  to  be  used. 

CHRISTMAS  PRESENTS. 

Many  beautiful  Christmas  presents  can  be  made  by 
means  of  stencils.  The  popular  magazines  offer  many 
valuable  suggestions,  all  of  which  can  easily  be  carried 
out  with  our  stencil  materials.  A  Sherwin-Williams  Outfit 


The  stenciled  article. 


will  be  found  a  most  practical  Christmas  gift.  These 
outfits  make  home  decorating  easy.  See  pages  29,  30 
and  31. 

Such  fabrics  as  Russian  crash,  denim,  burlap,  linens 
of  all  kinds,  canvas,  muslin,  cheesecloth,  madras,  poplin, 
bobbinette,  silk,  etc.,  etc.,  are  suitable  for  work  with  sten¬ 
cils  and  can  be  used  with  our  colors  whether  previously 
washed  or  not.  In  addition  to  the  stencil  illustrations  we 
are  including  many  suggestions  for  the  decorating  of  such 
articles  as  curtains,  portieres,  pillows,  etc.,  showing  at¬ 
tractive  ways  in  which  our  designs  can  be  used.  For  the 
benefit  of  those  who  are  not  familiar  with  color  combina¬ 
tions  we  have  prepared  the  following  suggestions  which 
will  serve  as  a  guide  in  mixing  our  colors  and  selecting 
suitable  materials. 

In  addition  to  decorating  by  stencils  there  are  many 
means  of  home  decoration  with  just  as  interesting  possibil¬ 
ities.  Floors  to  be  repainted  or  varnished;  a  valuable 
piece  of  furniture  of  attractive  wood  has  lost  its  original 
beauty.  Refinishing  the  floor  or  restoring  the  original 
grain  to  the  furniture  are  not  difficult  problems  when  suit¬ 
able  material  and  full  instructions  are  so  easily  available. 
In  fact  this  work  is  interesting  and  results  extremely 
satisfying.  Therefore  every  housewife  will  be  interested 
to  know  that  The  Sherwin-Williams  Co.  make  a  special 
finish  for  every  article  and  surface  in  and  around  the  home. 
On  the  last  two  pages  of  this  book  there  is  a  complete  list 
of  Sherwin-Williams  Products,  including  a  finish  for  every 
possible  need.  Under  the  heading,  “Brighten  Up  Finishes” 
will  be  found  many  household  specialties  for  keeping  the 
home  and  all  its  contents  bright  and  attractive. 

Every  housewife  is  at  times  confronted  with  decora¬ 
tive  problems  more  easily  and  satisfactorily  solved  by  ob¬ 
taining  outside  assistance.  We  place  the  services  of  our 
expert  designers  and  decorators  at  your  disposal,  and  will 
be  glad  to  answer  any  inquiries  or  offer  any  other  assist¬ 
ance  to  solve  your  decorative  problems. 

STENCIL  BRUSHES. 

It  is  not  our  desire  to  sell  brushes,  except  when  they  can¬ 
not  be  obtained  from  a  local  dealer.  In  such  cases  we  will 
furnish  you  with  price  quotations  on  request.

SHERWIN-WILLIAMS  FLAT-TONE  GLAZE  AND 
STENCIL  COLORS 


Being  very  transparent,  very  rich  in  color  and  finely 
ground,  Flat-tone  Glaze  and  Stencil  Colors  are  most  suit¬ 
able  for  stenciling  on  fabrics  of  all  kinds.  They  are  of  the 
exact  consistency  for  this  purpose,  and  by  the  addition  of 
one-tenth  part  of  Flat-tone  Stencil  Medium  become  fast 
in  the  fabric  and  may  he  washed  with  soap  and  water. 
The  most  artistic  and  durable  effects  may  be  obtained  on 
delicate  materials  without  stiffening  the  fabric. 

For  best  results  do  not  wash  stencil  fabrics  until  two 
or  three  week  after  application  of  color,  thus  allowing  to 
set  thoroughly. 

Flat-tone  Glaze  and  Stencil  Colors  are  specially  pre¬ 
pared  for  use  on  walls,  ceilings  and  relief  work  to  produce 
rich,  transparent  glaze  effects  over  a  suitable  ground  work 
of  opaque  color.  By  using  these  colors  in  connection  with 
Flat-tone  Glazing  Liquid  over  a  suitable  ground  work 
the  experienced  decorator  or  painter  can  obtain  an 
infinite  variety  of  shades,  with  tones  of  great  depth,  and 
beauty  of  color,  and  of  a  character  impossible  with  any 
other  finish.  Owing  to  the  variety  of  effects  obtained  it 
is  always  possible  to  finish  walls  and  ceiling  in  perfect 
harmony  with  the  rest  of  the  color  scheme,  not  only  in 
an  endless  variety  of  colors,  hut  also  in  effects  ranging 
from  the  simple  transparent  glaze  to  two  or  three  color 
mottled  and  blended  effect.  Flat-tone  Glaze  and  Stencil 
Colors  are  ground  in  oil  to  impalpable  fineness  and  by 
the  addition  of  Flat-tone  Glazing  Liquid  can  be  reduced  to 
the  most  delicate  tones,  yet  always  retaining  their  bril¬ 
liancy,  no  matter  what  the  reduction.  They  are  extremely 
transparent,  lack  any  tendency  to  clouding  and  blend  ad¬ 
mirably  with  suitable  ground  work,  giving  a  depth  of  color 
usually  found  only  in  rich  fabrics.  They  are  adapted  for 
use  in  the  most  elaborate  stencil  decorations  on  walls  and 
ceilings — both  for  application  of  the  stencil  itself  and  for 
“tinting  in”  the  design.

WALL  AND  CEILING  DECORATION. 


HE  question  of  wall  treatment  is  one 
which  should  receive  first  consideration 
in  home  decoration.  It  is  the  foundation 
upon  which  all  other  decorations  are 
based.  Some  of  the  qualifications  of  a 
good  wall  are  as  follows:  (1)  It  must 
conform  to  the  general  scheme  of  the 
room  in  color  and  design;  (2)  it  must  be 
restful  to  the  eye,  and  not  too  prominent; 
(3)  it  must  form  a  perfect  background 
for  pictures.  Over-decorated  walls  and 
wall  papers  designed  in  scrolls  and  glar¬ 
ing  decorations  are  to  be  avoided.  Plain 
effects  form  an  important  factor  in  the 
general  scheme  of  a  room  and  are  gaining 
in  popularity.  The  ideal  plain  wall  is 
unquestionably  the  painted  one.  Such  a 
wall  is  most  adaptable  to  stenciling.  A 
happy  medium  in  wall  treatment  is  reached  by  the  painted 
wall  with  attractive  stencil  borders.  Walls  are  best  when 
treated  with  a  rich  flat  finish  which  can  be  washed  readily 
with  soap  and  water  without  losing  their  original  beauty. 
With  such  a  foundation  to  work  upon  the  most  satisfactory 
and  lasting  results  are  assured.  Neither  white-wash  nor 
water  paint  are  permanent  enough  to  justify  stencil  decora¬ 
tion. 

The  Stencils:  The  actual  application  of  stencils  is 
very  simple,  and  the  housewife  need  have  no  hesitancy  in 
undertaking  such  decoration  with  our  materials.  The 
cutting  and  designing  of  the  stencil,  the  most  difficult  part 
of  the  work,  has  been  eliminated,  and  stencils  ready  for 
immediate  use  are  provided.  The  designs  are  all  original 
and  carefully  drawn  by  our  decorators,  who  thoroughly 
understand  all  requirements  of  the  work.  The  stencils  are 
made  of  extra  heavy  weight  paper  which  is  very  tough, 
thoroughly  oiled,  seasoned  and  shellaced.  All  ties  and 
connections  are  carefully  located  and  cleverly  worked  into 
the  design.  It  is  only  necessary  to  select  the  pattern  de- 


sired  from  the  following  illustrations  and  order  by  number 
See  price  list  and  terms  on  pages  26,  27  and  28. 

The  Colors:  Our  stencil  colors  (S-W  Flat-tone  Glaze 
and  Stencil  Colors)  are  prepared  ready  for  immediate  use. 
All  mixing  of  dry  colors  is  entirely  eliminated,  and  they 
are  of  the  exact  consistency  for  stenciling  of  any  kind. 
These  colors  are  ground  to  an  impalpable  fineness,  are 
very  rich  in  tone  and  extremely  transparent.  See  list  of 
colors  on  insert.  A  carefully  selected  assortment  of  the 
most  suitable  colors  will  be  made  upon  request.  See  page 
31.  Provided  with  such  colors  in  a  large  variety  of  shades, 
any  one  of  which  can  be  produced  with  our  Stencil  White, 
most  beautiful  effects  in  wall  decoration  can  be  carried  out 
with  ease. 

The  Application:  The  position  of  the  design  on  the 
wall  should  receive  consideration  first.  The  size  of  the 
stencil  should  be  in  good  proportion  to  such  wall  divisions 
as  wainscoting,  chair-rail,  drop  ceiling,  etc.  Make  careful 
measurement  of  the  wall  to  be  painted.  Order  stencil  that 
can  be  repeated  with  least  interference  by  window  and 
door  intersections,  corners,  etc.  Such  measurements  made, 
the  stencil  is  fastened  to  the  wall  in  its  first  position  with 
thumb  tacks,  and  is  then  ready  for  application  of  the  color. 
The  size  of  the  brush  is  determined  by  the  stencil  and  its 
openings.  If  your  dealer  does  not  carry  stencil  brushes  in 
stock,  we  will  supply  them.  See  price  list  on  page  28. 
Fill  the  brush  well  with  the  color  and  wipe  off  all  super¬ 
fluous  material  on  the  edge  of  the  cup.  Do  not  attempt 
to  brush  on  the  color,  but  rather  tap  or  pounce  it  on  the 
wall  through  the  stencil  openings.  (It  is  usually  best  to 
try  out  the  color  on  a  stiff  piece  of  card-board  or  other 
material  to  make  sure  of  your  tints.)  Watch  the  work 
carefully,  and  clean  both  sides  of  the  stencil  occasionally, 
thus  keeping  color  from  running  under  it.  Turpentine  or 
benzine  should  be  used  for  this  purpose.  The  stencil  is 
then  placed  in  its  next  position  by  means  of  the  small 
guide  marks  provided,  and  the  same  operation  repeated. 
When  a  corner  is  reached  the  stencil  should  be  slightly 
bent  if  necessary  in  order  that  the  design  may  be  carried 
into  the  corner  as  far  as  possible;  the  balance  of  the  design 
may  then  be  touched  in  with  a  small  brush.  The  question 

33 


of  suitable  colors  is,  of  course,  very  important  and  one 
which  cannot  be  covered  in  detail  in  this  book.  The  colors 
to  be  selected  for  the  stenciling  should  not  only  be  in  har¬ 
mony  with  the  wall  itself,  but  also  with  the  other  features 
in  the  room.  A  harmony  of  contrast  with  the  wall  and 
harmony  of  analogy  with  such  decorations  as  the  portieres, 
chair-covers  and  cushions,  thus  repeating  the  color  of  such 
features,  are  very  attractive  and  appropriate.  The  opera¬ 
tion  of  removing  wall  paper  for  the  purpose  of  painting  or 
decorating  is  a  simple  one — first  the  wall  or  ceiling  is 
dampened  with  hot  water  or  hot  paste  by  means  of  a 
sponge  or  large  brush.  After  standing  a  few  minutes  in 
this  condition  the  softened  paper  can  easily  be  removed 
by  using  a  thin  piece  of  metal  with  a  sharp  edge  as  a 
scraper.  The  wall  should  then  be  wiped  ofif  carefully  and 
when  thoroughly  dry  is  ready  for  painting. 

S-W.  FLAT  TONE. 

The  following  suggestions  are  based  on  the  standard 
shades  of  Flat-tone,  the  best  wall  finish  we  have  ever  made. 
This  material  produces  a  beautiful  rich,  flat  effect  and 
forms  a  perfect  surface  for  stenciling.  It  can  be  readily 
washed  with  soap  and  water  without  losing  any  of  its 
attractive  qualities.  It  is  not  in  the  same  class  with 
kalsomine  or  cheap  water  paints.  The  Flat-tone  color 
folder,  containing  complete  information  regarding  this 
beautiful  wall  finish,  will  be  sent  upon  request.

OUR  DECORATIVE  DEPARTMENT 


ANY  people  who  appreciate  and  want 
artistic  and  comfortable  homes  are  not 
able  to  select  the  materials  or  the  har¬ 
monious  combinations  of  color  which 
make  a  home  a  place  of  rest  and  good 
taste.  A  natural  aptitude  for  this  work 
and  a  wide  knowledge  of  the  subject  are 
necessary.  Busy  with  other  interests,  few 
have  had  the  opportunity  to  investigate 
the  possibilities  of  practical  and  sane 
decoration.  Only  those  of  large  means 
can  afford  to  employ  the  services  of  the 
expert  designer  and  decorator. 

To  properly  take  care  of  the  many 
requests  coming  to  us  for  information 
on  our  decorative  subjects,  and  to  be  of 
real  assistance  to  our  friends,  about  two 
years  ago  we  organized  our  present  Deco¬ 
rative  Department.  We  are  now  in  a  position  to  give 
expert  advice  on  anj'  decorative  problem.  We  give  as 
much  attention  to  working  out  the  problems  for  the  owner 
of  the  modest  home  as  for  the  owner  of  the  mansion.  The 
problem  is  to  obtain  correct  and  pleasing  results  at  a  small 
cost. 

We  will  help  you  plan  a  single  room  in  simple  style 
or  give  you  color  schemes  for  the  painting  of  a  cottage. 
No  matter  what  you  may  have  to  finish  or  refinish  we 
will  be  pleased  to  offer  suggestions  to  make  the  work  suc¬ 
cessful  and  satisfactory  to  you. 

We  want  to  be  of  service  to  you.  We  can  give  you 
further  assistance  in  the  use  of  stencils  for  any  work  you 
may  contemplate,  and  upon  receipt  of  full  details  our 
decorators  can  give  you  many  valuable  decorative  sugges¬ 
tions.  If  you  do  not  thoroughly  understand  our  plan,  or 
if  you  contemplate  the  decorating  of  a  new  home,  or  any 
redecorating  whatever,  write  at  once  for  our  information 
blank,  which  will  enable  you  to  take  advantage  of  this  un¬ 
usual  service  free  of  cost.

BRIGHTEN  UP  FINISHES. 


HERWIN-WILLIAMS  Brighten  Up  Fin¬ 
ishes  are  designed  especially  for  the  use 
of  the  householder  and  housewife.  The 
line  includes  a  special  product  for  every 
household  use.  If  you  want  to  finish  or 
refinish  chairs,  tables,  floors,  picture 
frames,  bathtubs,  iron  bedsteads,  fixtures, 
shelves,  cupboards,  or  any  of  the  little 
things  about  the  house,  simply  ask  your 
dealer  for  Sherwin-Williams  Brighten  Up 
Finishes,  and  tell  him  what  you  want  to 
finish.  He  will  give  you  the  proper  finish 
for  this  particular  purpose. 

The  reason  why  Brighten  Up  Fin¬ 
ishes  give  such  good  results  is  because 
each  product  in  the  line  is  a  specialty — 
made  for  a  particular  purpose.  It  is  im¬ 
possible  for  a  finish  to  give  satisfactory 
results  for  all  uses  and  surfaces  under  widely  different  con¬ 
ditions.  A  paint  that  is  intended  for  inside  use  could  not 
be  expected  to  give  the  best  results  under  severe  outside 
exposure — an  outside  paint  could  not  be  expected  to  give 
good  service  on  radiators  and  other  superheated  sur¬ 
faces — a  paint  could  not  be  expected  to  wear  well  on  floors 
unless  it  was  specially  prepared  to  withstand  footwear  and 
rough  usage.  It  is  therefore  important  to  use  a  product 
made  expressly  for  the  work  you  want  to  do,  instead  of  a 
product  that  is  sold  for  a  variety  of  uses  and  surfaces, 
outside  and  inside.  All  you  need  to  remember  is  “Sherwin- 
Williams  Brighten  Up  Finishes,”  but  you  will  get  a  finish 
made  especially  for  the  particular  work  you  have  to  do. 
If  you  are  unable  to  secure  Brighten  Up  Finishes  in  your 
locality  let  us  hear  from  you  and  we  will  see  that  you  are 
supplied.  Send  for  B-68  Brighten  Up  Finish  Booklet.

AN  IDEAL  PLAN  OF  HOME  DECORATION. 


O  give  home  owners  and  builders  a  true 
idea  of  the  possibilities  for  artistic  home 
decoration,  at  an  economical  cost,  through 
the  proper  use  of  Sherwin-Williams  Fin¬ 
ishing  Materials,  we  have  prepared  a  port¬ 
folio  of  color  plates  showing  completed 
decorative  schemes  for  every  room  in  an 
eight  room  house,  as  well  as  two  exterior 
views,  front  and  rear,  showing  two  differ¬ 
ent  sets  of  exterior  color  combinations. 

This  plan  is  complete  in  every  detail 
and  may  be  adopted  in  part  or  in  its  en¬ 
tirety.  It  covers  living  room,  dining  room, 
library,  hall,  bed  rooms,  bath  room, 
kitchen  and  exterior  individually  and  in¬ 
cludes  instruction  in  detail  for  the  finish¬ 
ing  of  the  walls,  floors,  etc.,  in  each  par¬ 
ticular  room,  as  well  as  practical  sugges¬ 
tions  for  harmonious  furnishings.  This  permits  any 
particular  room  or  suite  of  rooms  to  be  adopted,  in  whole 
or  in  part,  to  meet  your  preferences  or  those  of  your 
architect. 


On  the  back  of  each  plate  is  given  a  brief  description 
of  the  decorative  scheme  shown,  telling  just  what  finish¬ 
ing  materials  should  be  used  to  produce  the  various  effects 
and  giving  complete  specifications  for  use,  and  also  nam¬ 
ing  the  kind  and  color  of  furniture,  rugs,  tapestries,  por¬ 
tieres  and  other  furnishings,  which  harmonize  with  the 
general  decorative  scheme.  The  smallest  details  are  ex¬ 
plained.  Everything  is  made  plain. 


A  copy  of  this  portfolio  will  be  sent  to  anyone  asking 
for  our  Ideal  Plan  of  Home  Decoration.  Address  The 
Sherwin-Williams  Co.,  Decorative  Department,  601  Canal
